It's been a very trying week...but most of it is not my business to share. I will however fill you in on my little girls struggles!!!

Wednesday night I fell asleep shortly after midnight....then Paige woke up around 12:45. She was so upset, and burning up a fever! I gave her Tylenol, but she was obviouly in pain. Her fever went down a little, and she fell back asleep somewhere around 4am. Thursday morning she only slept until 8am. So I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. The fever just got worse through out the day...and she became more and more lethargic. With fevers topping at 39.8, and getting little comfort from Tylenol...I took her to the Dr.'s and she has Croup! My poor kid. She is on more Tylenol for the fever - I was not giving her enough. And an oral steroid for the cough. My doctor was pretty worried about her - has me doing hourly temp. checks...tonight so far is ending up like the last few. I am getting little sleep. (Notice the time now??!!!) So this is what being a mother is ALL about!!!

I'm sure she'll be fine, and I am doing my best at catering to her, helping her through this. What a terrible feeling to watch my child in pain, and know there is very little I can do about it. I am sure this is the first of many, many, boo-boos, sicknesses and ouchies to come.
